This is yet another example of the liberal lite tendencies of RINOs. For the hundredth time, we didn't vote Rethuglicans back in office to act like Democrats. Repeal and DON'T replace obummercare with anything. That way, the welfare sucking illegal aliens and others unwilling to work will not have access to my taxpayer money via healthcare. Easy and simple. The 2016 election was a mandate. Yet the RINOs feel it was yet another reward for them being..well...Republicans. The well is running dry for Rethuglicans, but they either don't seem aware or just don't care. Time to vote the idiots out and replace, even if it means liberal socialists gaining office. The reset button draws ever nearer.

The similarities between national level RINO liberals and the Watauga County Liberal Republican Party are striking. They are so intent on keeping power, they are willing to turn full red communist to do so!!! They have no morals, no ethics, and no shame. Ask them about the farmer out in Aho who battled city hall over a septic tank and they remain conspicuously silent. Ask them to pass a regulation that affects the masses, and they're all over it.

RINOs like Thom Tillis, New Guy, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnel, Paul Ryan, Fat Boy Chris Christie, RINO Rick Perry, the low energy Bush twins, RINO Richard Burr under the saddle, and a host of other worthless, cowardly dolts will sell you down the river in an instant to retain power. But, we've been exposing them for what they are for decades now which is why you never see them posting or interacting on this site. They are scared of conservatives because we see right through their B.S. The infamous Blowing Rock Land Trade in which a crooked city council bought land far, far outside city limits to protect viewsheds of town council members started it all. The land trade shed light on the machinations of the Watauga County Republican Party and Virginia Foxx eventually leading to Watauga County falling into the hands of Democrats (same thing).

We tried telling people what was happening, but most stuck their head in the sand. Now we have RINOs doing exactly what we said they were going to and more heads go into the sand. Assume the position RINOs and get ready for PLOP!, POV, Shylock, Happily Dumb, and a host of other miscreants to give it to you.

The next episode in the RINO double-cross phenomena, I predict, will see some RINOs defect to the Democratic Party in hopes of winning districts evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. When they do it, be ready for feigned enlightenment on the part of the defector. They may even steal a broken record line from Liberal Socialist Jackal POV with words such as racist, bigot, old white guy, etc.

It's coming folks, I can feel it. There will be enough pressure put on RINOs that they will Benedict Arnold to the other side in hopes of retaining power. Didn't Charlie Crist in Florida do that? And some idiot in Pennsylvania did it as well. When they do defect, fear not as it will help define the battle lines. It may cause a third party, but I'm beginning to think the two party system will remain by purging the Republican Party of the energy sucking sycophants that afflict us conservatives. Things seem to be set in motion now toward this end.

RINOs were brave in bringing forth bill after bill to repeal obummercare during the hussein obummer (notice lower case) administration for no reason other than to act tough in front of the electorate who was already beginning to recognize RINOs for what they are. Now, with Republicans controlling both houses and the Presidency, they can't seem to muster the guts to repeal obummercare. Doesn't get any more gutless than that my friends. These dolts would lag behind even liberal socialist jackal POV in stupidity.

Democrats were united when they passed obummercare. They have been united ever since, and remain that way today. Rethuglicans are too stupid to unite behind the electorate who put them in power once again.

I challenged the Watauga County Rethuglican Party to DO SOMETHING for many years. They didn't. Now we have the same mistake being made by national level Rethuglicans. DO SOMETHING!!! Not a hard concept friends. Fing DO SOMETHING.

What will happen, is they will let the opportunity pass and nothing will get done and then we will see liberal socialist jackals in control and they WILL do something. I respect liberal socialist jackals more than I do Republicans.

There are studies saying half the people in the US couldn't cover a $500 expense with their cash in the bank or under their mattress. Of course, if true, even more couldn't cover a $2,000 emergency expense. What is the deductible on most Obamacare policies? Why do the Democrats cling to this Obamacare Tax? I think it's the emotional feeling they get of sharing the costs of killing their pre-born babies with people who reject those killings as birth control. I believe they think it shares their guilt somehow.

Any idea on why liberal socialist jackals (pov, shylock, happily dumb, new guy, PLOP!, Williamsons, high country press, Watauga Democrat, mountain times, blowing rocket) never seem to repot on leftist violence against conservatives? Not a peep on Berkely or the multiple examples of liberal jackals attacking conservatives at poltical rallies. But they do report on a rancher trying to protect his land against government sponsored thievery. They also were sure to ignore the NOT GUILTY verdict of the conservative heroes at the Oregon Wildlife Refuge - some of whom were shot and killed by the FBI. Why no coverage of this event?

The above liberal jackals are completely ok with VIOLENCE against conservatives yet proclaim thugs like Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown heroes. Why is this? Several of the above mentioned rags attacked George Bush, Jesse Helms, Johnathan Jordan, and Dan Souchek for standing up for the little guy. Yet, during the infamous Blowing Rock Land Trade, they prevented publication of editorials exposing Virgina Foxx's role in colluding with a crooked Blowing Rock Town Council!! Hypocrisy!!

When the above liberals were asked if they supported or opposed Foxx's role in protecting viewsheds of elitist Blowing Rock town council members through national legislation, they suddenly proclaim they "don't know much about the land trade." Feigned ignorance is a tactic of the extremist left.

The extremist left sure won't give a reason why this occurs, and I often wonder how they are able to look at themselves in the mirror while putting on a bra or shaving.

Sark, I agree and believe what you say. Our premiums have skyrocketed and if they go up again, we will have to just put the money in the bank and insure ourselves. Our deductibles are high so that doesn't help either....so we're in a no win situation. I didn't like the bill at all, so agreed they should have taken it off the table. I want a bill that totally "repeals", Obamacare. I thought the House and Senate sent a Obama a repeal bill and he vetoed it?

Their courage is gone. McCain and his buds that don't like Trump aren't helping the matter. They will be gone when they are up for reelection. They need to move on and they'd better start agreeing on what will be passed. Trump has a lot of things he needs to do...and he'd best get on it.

Anonymous 5:23 AM you wrote- " ITS A FREE MARKET." Are you kidding me? Any thing even resembling a "free market" in health insurance ended with Obamacare. Obamacare turned insurance companies into tax collectors for the government and ruled by the government. If you didn't catch it on the NEWS, the only reason Obamacare survived the Supreme Court is because it is a tax. Healthcare insurance is no where close to "free market".

Reader- I don't see how a single person with no kids and in their twenties can afford Obamacare. How can they afford the deductible ? I agree with you that the Republican's new health insurance bill should have been taken off the table. The history of laws saying wait for phase 2 and 3 before it becomes a good law usually get worse in phase 2 & 3. But, Trump supported this bill. He shouldn't have.

JohnnyRico 4:47 PM- Ted Coppel (sp) in an interview with Sean Hannity said it all. Ted said Conservative talk/opinion is hurting the country... his liberal country. Ted's brain doesn't compute the facts that everything liberals say are bad, they are doing and worse. This includes violence and voting away our liberties. I have always believed liberalism is a brain disorder and Ted Coppel (sp) proved it. Ted, the most liberal biased "NEWS" guy ever.I have a feeling like most of the liberal men who are looking at themselves in the mirror shaving are only thinking about earring placement, waxing their eyebrows, and wondering if Nair could rid them of their beard.

Conservatives control the US House of Representatives, The U S Senate, The Office of the President of the USA, half of the U S Supreme Court,33 States have Republican Governors and 25 State Legislatures are Conservative Republicans. Republican political ideology is divisive, fear mongering, based in ignorance, greed, bigotry, and protecting the status quo. Conservatives think all problems can be fixed with more tax cuts for the rich, more guns on the street, more prayer, more flag waving, more jails, more discrimination, more voter suppression, fewer personal freedoms and liberty.

Anonymous 9:29-( I am guessing it is LPov in disguise). just in case it's not, I can tell you that divisiveness is all on the Democrat leadership. If someone is against illegal immigration then they are xenophobes. If someone is against marriage other than one man one woman then they are homophobes. If someone is against Obamacare they are against the poor and the old even though it takes money from Medicare and stunts job growth. How can you not think that is divisive (unless you are LPov)? How can you think a President taking the side of thugs in police shootings is not divisive? Why am I answering this?

Name one country where Conservatives successfully governed over any period of time and history recorded their rule as positive? Germany 1933 - 1945? Benito Mussolini, 1919 - 1945? Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte 1973 - 1990? Francisco Franco Bahamonde 1939 - 1975?

"Name one country where Conservatives successfully governed over any period of time and history recorded their rule as positive? " The United States of America(this in spite of having to fight off socialism as promoted by the 'progressive' left for over 100 years.)

None of the people you mention in your post were conservatives so that portion is meaningless.

What part of socialism do you dislike? Medicare, Roads? Social Security? Fire Departments? National Parks, Community Parks, Bridges? Coast Guard? National Weather Service? CDC? Health Inspectors for restaurants? Public Schools? Libraries? Air Traffic Controllers? US Army Corp of Engineers? Agriculture Extension? State Universities? FBI? EPA? Veteran Administration?

I do not really care for anything about socialism. You are going to have to be specific about what makes each of the things you ask about socialist. I can then decide if your drivel deserves an answer.

Name your country where conservatives served society and offered a free people a better life? Name a time in American history where conservative government worked for more than the wealthiest families?

Anonymous (Lpov), I do not believe you even know what socialism is. The things you mention could be controlled by socialism or capitalism. In this country, they are controlled by capitalism even though you are trying hard to change this fact.

I named the United States. The time int American history in which capitalism served the general welfare dates from 1776 to the present. Have you never heard of the American dream?

You do not get to define the meanings of things . Try to make a coherent statement that is on the issue being discussed rather than your usual La La La La La drivel. Using another name does not disguise your writing style.

Anonymous 7:05 AM wrote- "Name your country where conservatives served society and offered a free people a better life? Name a time in American history where conservative government worked for more than the wealthiest families?"

A total of two question marks and neither of the sentences form a question.

What do you call freedom? Free to choose political representative without voter suppression, or gerrymandered political district? Freedom to marry the person you love? Freedom to use the restroom? Freedom to destroy the water quality down stream? Freedom to deny others their religious freedom? Freedom to cheat workers, customers,tenants, home owners, students, patients, seniors or taxpayers if you can profit from dishonesty? What freedom is important to you?

Have you watched the video entitled "No Guns for Negros"? When we talk about empathy, this includes the conservatives ability to ferret out the racist tendencies of the left. Liberals don't want to admit they have worked for decades to disarm inner city blacks. In other words, liberals like noneymouse coward think blacks are too stupid and untrustworthy to own and operate guns. The fact whites haven't been disarmed to the extent blacks have is testament to this fact. Now we have liberal groups arming themselves and marching in public with assault weapons they have no clue of how to load and operate!!! Hypocrisy squared!. Noneymouse coward, why do you run from the "No Guns For Negros" video? The fact you classify and stereotype those with whom you disagree leads one to wonder how you classify and stereotype Negros? What names do you call them?

Conservatives on the other hand invite gays, women, blacks, and other under-represented ethnicities, races, cultres, etc to uphold and enjoy the 2nd Amendment. Hard to enslave a Negro when he's pointing a gun at you now ain't it? LOL! Liberal socialist jackals are the new plantation owners and have been for sometime. Keep the black man under your thumb, disarm him, and ply him with free money and you'll "own" him forever. noneymouse coward (notice lower case), did Alinsky teach you that or was it Lenin? Stings don't it.

rethuglicans can't fix anything, especially obummercare. These dolts sent bill after bill to obummer repealing obummercare. Now they won't submit a bill to repeal obummercare. What a bunch of Marxists.

OH, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, DID YOU NOTICE THE NAME OF THE ATLANTA FREEWAY BURNER???????????? His name is Basil Eleby. Basil? Isn't that more of a European name? My bet is he's from one of the British Protectorates, hence his European borne name. Notice how the liberal news media is telling you NOTHING of Basil's past (except criminal history). Is he an Atlanta native? Was he born in the United States? I'd say he's an illegal alien due to the medial blackout - including Fox News. Wouldn't that be so inconvenient for the illegal alien lovers (nonymouse coward, PLOP!, POV, Shylock, Biker Bard, and the other village idiots)if this idiot is indeed an alien? Coupled with the illegal alien rapists in Maryland, this would really boost Trump's deportation scheme, and make liberal socialist jackals look even more unreasonable than they already are. Watch how this unfolds - Basil Eleby may be an illegal alien.

How come it's taking so long for police/media/worthless politicians to tell us more about Basil? Something's amiss here, and you, the sheeple, are being mislead once again.

I just contacted USS Rodger Young who's well connected cabal is researching Basil Eleby, and she indicates a complete blackout on citizenship or other early indicator-type information on Basil. She also says some sources are saying Basil is from somewhere in the Caribbean. If so, many areas of the Caribbean are British Protectorates or former colonies where a name like Basil would be common (like I noted above). We'll see. Oh, and USS Rodger Young says she'll be back here soon enough and to give the liberal socialist jackals her regards!!!! LOL!

Sark and Wolf - absolutely. Wanna bet this dolt is a Democrat who supported Hussein obummer and billary too. Still nothing in the news about Basil's that's meaningful. If the bridge collapse is as devastating as they indicate, then why no intense probe into the life of the liberal who caused it? Funny how they steer away from the most important facts of the case.

I see jail time for Rice and Obama. Rice will fall on her sword for Obama, but it may not help him. I have always said that the Clintons and Obama make Nixon look like a choir boy. In this case, Obama has nothing to resign from to avoid prosecution. Maybe he can write a fourth book about himself as he whiles away the hours behind bars. He will probably get a country club Federal prison. But who cares, as long as there is a purp walk. This is big time serious stuff and it looks like he is caught.I wondered how Petraeus, Flynn, Sessions, and Trump were quoted on private calls. Now we know... Obama going after his perceived enemies. It would be great if there was a rule that x-presidents convicted of high crimes had to go to Leavenworth. Ain't no country club there.

Words of a SORE LOSER!!!!!!! LOL!!!! You lost and you're acting like you lost!!! Petulant child. nonymouse coward supports the snowflakes in Berkley, or the violence committed by liberals against Trump supporters, or Muslims stoning women, or repression of inner city blacks via keeping them disarmed an "on the plantation."

Macts Niches Bitches - You LOST the election to Trump and thought you had it in the bag. You snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. LOL!!! I love watching you dolts disintegrate into a flaming mob of scalded jackals. You do realize you and your ilk have become entertainment for conservatives who are busy changing the Supreme Court, reducing unneeded environmental regulations, building a massive wall to keep out your fellow socialist jackals, and bringing jobs back to the U.S. from third world cesspools. In other words, liberal jackals are so yesterday. Irrelevance is the end result of apathy and lack of independent thought.

Anyone notice Basil Eleby is absent from the news today? We know absolutely nothing about the black man who supposedly brought Atlanta to its knees. Where was he born, what were his 20 past arrests for, and is he a Democrat? Easy questions for the media to answer, but for some reason there is a blackout.

Sort of like Doomsday Preppers. The most watched show on Nat Geo Channel was suddenly taken off the air with nary a reason given. The sheeple have been dumbed down so much they don't know how to think critically.

Like most liberals who believe they know what's best for others, you would assume that. Tough crowd here ain't it pardner? LOL. Casting stones is getting kind of rough for you it seems. But then again, you are this sites biggest LOSER because, you guessed it.... WE WON, YOU LOST, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!! Enjoy Neil Gorsuch as he supports the 2nd Amendment and blacks owning guns. As conservatives work to free blacks from the plantation, what will you do?

There is no one conservative Utopia. There are many because conservatives are free thinkers that have their own opinions about what such an Utopia would be. This is unlike the liberal Utopia that is determined by what the liberal sheeple have been told to think.

What is your personal version? Does it have public education, National Parks, protected water quality, starving children, untreated mentally ill citizen sleeping in the streets? Do senior citizens get Social Security and Medicare?Who has the right to vote?

My last post must've sent the village idiot (noneymouse coward) into the usual death spiral; incessant babbling with rapid fire question after question is a sure sign. I can almost see nonymouse coward this morning in his mom's basement, clad in a hand me down bathrobe from his dad, sputtering about on a painted concrete floor hurling half coherent liberal euphemisms at no one in particular. When he finally makes it to mom's computer, the above is about all he can peck out before descending back into self-induced paranoia. Hell of a way to live noneymouse coward, but it does provide some decent early morning fodder for independent thinkers. We show your rambling to children, explaining why it's not good to be a liberal jackal.

Anonymous (Lpov), my personal version of Utopia is a point in time when leaches such as yourself realize they have a personal responsibility to take charge of themselves. After they do this, they might even realize they can take care of others without being forced to waste time and monies by going through governmental extortion to do it. Charity begins at home, but does not end there.

I am not going to bother addressing all of the secifcis you ask about because you would then just ask about others.

Do you believe that people have any responsibility to take care of themselves?

The question of a political Utopia being created is decided every election. The final version will never happen. even though, as Rico says, you lost big time. However, you have been successful in creating an army of governmental dependent slaves to help keep you in power, which is your real objective. We shall see what time brings about.

Conservatives are more interested in the hate, bigotry and greed than an actual vision of a better society. Conservatives here are running from details of what they actually want government to do or not do is proof they have no vision or mission of improving society, justice, conserving our environment, educating the next generation or improving the lives of their own grandchildren.

Busy morning, just got in from busting out some store front windows, shouting down a guest speaker at the college, marched in a rally against the police and then grocery shopped with my food stamps. Taking the girlfriend for an abortion at 12, then going to march in the pro marijuana rallies. Busy the rest of the afternoon making new cardboard signs asking for spare change. I feel good about helping society.

Conservative have to resort by debating with lies because factual information is not on your side. What are the institutions of Government Conservatives want to conserve and what are the ones they want to destroy is a valid question any of you should be able to answer. What do you actually want government to do or not do? What is your personal vision or mission of improving society, justice, conserving our environment, educating the next generation or improving the lives of your own grandchildren?

Anon, 11:14 as a conservative, I can't answer your rants because you being a leftie, I will suspect you of undermining the Constitution. You and I might agree on a lot of good things people could do for one another. I doubt if we would ever agree on who would do it. The Costittuion relegates most of the things you ask about as responsibilities of local governments. Other helping groups include private organizations such as the Red Cross etc. Then there are individuals who create foundations like Bill Gates, etc. then there are neighbors helping neighbors, etc. Because of the above and because I am a Consttutional Conservative and your group likes to think of themselves as "Progressive "' we will never be able to converse. So unless you want to argue from the Constitution, stop wasting my time and space on my blog.

Bye Bye, safe clean water, Bye Bye the safety of Nuclear waste , Nuclear weapons, Bye Bye an educated, competitive society with the rest of the world. Why would you privatize one of the most successful government programs like NASA?

"What is your personal vision or mission of improving society, justice, conserving our environment, educating the next generation or improving the lives of your own grandchildren."

The personal vision is not one of Victimology like it is with the left. We don't see ourselves as victims, but as progenitors of freedom, liberty, limited government, and the one you liberal jackals dread the most: personal responsibility. Self made victims (you) look to others for help, often compelling others to support your victim status via ill conceived legislation. Then when that doesn't work, you dolts enslave traditionally enslaved ethnic and racial groups (Blacks) via keeping them on the welfare hook. The more slaves you socialist jackals can put on the line, the more freedom thinkers you control. It didn't work for you last November though. The very group you ask inane question after inane question was able to eschew Victimology in favor of a bit more personal responsibility.

And it drives the liberal socialist jackals (you) crazy. But then again, it was you that said "Machts Niches Bitches" only to eat an extremely heavy dose of well done crow a few days later. LOL!! Stings don't it.

Anonymous 4/10, you need only look at the elements that these republicans subscribe to understand their mindset:

1)White.2)Supremacy.3)Nationalism.4)Authoritarianism.

The republicans on this site: Sarkazien, Wolf's Head, Blogger, Guy Faulkes, et. al. may put forth an insincere denial of this, but probably not. These elements compose the steel in their brittle spine.

I see you were unable and afraid (typical) to answer my post above. LOL - I often have that effect on liberal socialist jackals (you). Here it is again so you'll have to read it again at the very least. Oh and WE WON, YOU LOST. Macts Niches Bitches. Stings don't it.

The RINO Party in Watauga County is full of losers. What a bunch of liberal lite dolts. Conservatives supported you for a long time, but we're wise to the status quo style synonymous with power hungry RINOs. The Blowing Rock Land Trade was the first insight into this phenomenon, and it has since blossomed into hyper awareness on the part of well informed conservatives. Good times.

I have grandchildren, dolt. THEIR future is very important to me. It is imperative that the country return to the path of fiscal conservatism, that the rampart over regulation of business and schools be eliminated, that taxes be cut to bring businesses back into this county in order to not only provide jobs, but also investment opportunities, and the illegal aliens be deported in order to let the rule of supply and demand set the wages of citizens of this country.

I think the Blowing Rock land trade started being worked on in 2000 or 2001. Is that about right, Rico?

Oh! You brought up fiscal conservatism? What the cost is those trips to Mar Largo? What was the cost of the show of force in bombing near the Syria Air Field? What the cost of protecting the NY City Penthouse, the Whitehouse, Camp David the children jet setting around the world and the Mar Largo club and golf course?

You have far more questions to answer than the Blowing Rock Land Trade. In fact, quit being so lazy and research it yourself and then we'll talk about government depredations and how that affects children/grandchildren.

The 20 trillion debt that your idol, Hussein obummer (notice lower case) racked up in 8 short years. Does that resonate with you in terms of your kids/grandkids future? If so, why no mention of it, ever, in the liberal news media? You've never mentioned it in your wild, incomprehensible ramblings either. How about the violence perpetrated by liberals at places like Berkely, Charlotte, and other places - is that what you teach your kids; attack those with whom you disagree? Tough questions aren't they my cowardly friend?

Ever notice how noneymouse coward waits until Monday to comment. He knows conservatives are out working to keep the welfare flowing and don't have time to mess with his nonsense. LOL!!! Stings don't it.
